About RealNeGate/Cuik

Cuik (pronounced 'Quick') is a new fast compiler toolchain built to replace GCC, MSVC, and LLVM. It features a modular design: the C11 frontend is a separate library (libCuik) and the backend (tb) can be compiled independently. The project is currently in early development and is considered unfinished and buggy. It is open source under the MIT license.
